FLORA

I ran for the staircase, nearly falling over as I hurried along. The helicopter pilot, seeing the outcome of the fight, was already shutting down the engine. Clearly, he didn’t want to be any part of what had just happened.

I took the stairs two at a time, and my heart kept hammering against my ribs as I ran down.

Please be alive. Please be alive, I kept chanting in my mind, repeating the prayer over and over with each step that I took.

When I rushed across the factory floor and finally got to where they were, I saw Alvaro first. He was lying on his back with his neck bent at an impossible angle. His eyes were open but blank. I knew he was dead.

In front of him was Dante. He was covered in blood and glass, but his chest was rising and falling with shallow breaths. I was careful not to disturb any of his injuries as I dropped to my knees beside him

"Dante?" I whispered, taking his hand.

His eyes fluttered open, focusing on me with effort. "Are you okay?" he rasped.

Tears stung

    FLORAThe explosion had knocked the breath out of me. Again.My ears were ringing like someone had set off fireworks inside my skull. I blinked fast as I tried to make sense of the blurry lights and running feet around me. I could barely hear the shouting, but I knew the feeling of chaos. I’d been living in it for a while now.The next thing I knew, I was being lifted with large but careful hands as they placed me on a stretcher. The women we’d rescued were right there too, and now all of us lined up like a row of broken dolls.“Stay with me, Flora,” Dante said with his hand gripping mine.I tried to speak but I could only manage a cough instead.“She’s coughing! Get oxygen on her!” a medic shouted.I wanted to tell them I was fine, that the baby was okay, but honestly, I wasn’t sure anymore. My whole body felt numb, my heart was racing, and all I could think about was whether my baby had made it through that second blast.The ambulance ride felt like it lasted forever. Dante sat besi

    DANTEI didn’t wait for Harrison’s questions. I just turned and ran.Three minutes. That’s how long we had before everything on this floor went up in flames.I grabbed wire cutters and bolt cutters from the maintenance cart just outside Flora’s room. My hands shook as I rushed back in. She was still on the bed with her wrists strapped down. Her face was pale but she looked alert.“I’m getting you out of here,” I said, already working on the restraints.When her eyes met mine, I could see that they were filled with fear. “Dante, wait. It’s not just me. Elena’s men are holding other pregnant women in some rooms down the hallway. I heard them crying and begging.”I paused just for a second. Then I kept cutting.“How many rooms?” I asked.“I don’t know. But there must be at least two,” she replied.The strap snapped off her right wrist, and I moved to the left. My heart was pounding so loud now.“We can’t leave them, Dante,” she said. “We have to try.”“I know.”Two minutes left.I got th

    DANTE"There's a third option,” I said."Which is?""I stop you."Elena laughed. "With what? You're outnumbered twenty to one.""Maybe, but I'm not alone."Just then, the doors to the stairs burst open and Sofia came in, followed by Agent Harrison and some FBI agents."Elena Vasquez," Harrison called out. "You're under arrest."Elena's face went pale. "How did you find me?""Your companies weren't as well hidden as you thought," Sofia said. "We've been tracking your financial records for days."But Elena recovered quickly. She held up the detonator again. "It doesn't matter now. If anyone moves, I'll blow this whole floor to pieces.""Put down the remote," Harrison said. "We can work this out.""Work it out? Like you worked it out when Diego died?" she replied."Mrs. Vasquez, I understand you're angry about your husband's death, but this isn't the way to go about it.""This is the only way,” she replied hotly.I could see that Elena was getting desperate. And desperate people did stup

    DANTEI knew something was wrong the moment we pulled into the hospital parking lot.There were too many cars for this time of day. There were black SUVs parked in spots that should have been empty. Some men in suits were standing around trying to look casual but they were failing."Marcus, do you see this?" I asked as we got out of my car."Yeah. They’re most definitely Elena's people.""How many do you think?"Marcus looked around the parking lot. "There are at least a dozen out here, and probably more inside."We walked toward the main entrance, and I could see more of Elena's men standing near the doors. They weren't trying to hide anymore."Dante," Marcus said quietly. "We need more men.""There’s no time. Flora's up there."As we approached the entrance doors, two men in suits stepped forward to block our path."The hospital's been closed for maintenance," one of them said."Since when?" I asked."Since today. You'll have to come back tomorrow,” he replied.I looked at Marcus. H

    FLORA"Because of your husband, right?" I said."Ah, so you know about Diego. Good. That saves us some time.""Marcus told us he died in Prague."Elena's expression darkened. "Diego didn't just die, Flora. He was murdered. He was burned alive in a Romano warehouse fire."Suddenly, I felt my baby kick as if it sensed the tension in the room."That wasn't Dante's fault," I said."Wasn't it?" Elena questioned. Then she stood up and walked to the window. "Antonio Romano sent my husband into that warehouse knowing it was a trap. He used Diego as bait to catch his enemies, and when the building went up in flames, he left my husband to die.""You don't know that for sure,” I argued.When Elena turned back to me, her eyes were filled with rage. "I know because one of Antonio's men told me. Right before I killed him."The room went silent. Even Sofia stopped moving."You killed someone?" Sofia asked."I've killed several people, actually. All of them were connected to the Romano family in some

    FLORAI woke up to the sound of unfamiliar voices outside my hospital room. It was early in the morning, and the light coming through the window was still dim. Sofia was asleep in the chair next to my bed, but her head was tilted at an awkward angle.Something felt off.I couldn't put my finger on what exactly was wrong, but the atmosphere in the hospital seemed different. The voices in the hallway were speaking in hushed tones, and I could hear more movement than usual for this time of day."Sofia," I whispered. She stirred but didn't wake up."Sofia," I called out a little louder.Her eyes opened slowly. "Flora? What time is it?""I don't know. But something is wrong."Sofia sat up straighter and looked around the room. "What do you mean?""Listen."We both stayed quiet for a moment. The voices outside were definitely not the usual hospital staff. They sounded more official, and more serious too."Where are Dante's security guys?" I asked.Sofia's eyes widened. "They should be right
